What do we think about this, and how could things be done properly? Would the use of open source software improve matters?
I don't know. It sounds like there are process problems involved too. Merely switching to free software licensing and open development models alone wouldn't correct this, but it may allow it to be spotted earlier.
On a side note, the AFFS is looking for a volunteer coordinator for its government-related activities. Some more on http://www.affs.org.uk/ -> Workgroups -> Government, or in the next newsletter for those of you who are members.
